When reading, writing, listening to, or speaking German (Deutsch), you will often hear or need to use ordinal numbers (first, second, third, ...) to describe something's place in an order. Knowing the ordinal number words in German will therefore come in handy and will help you to better describe people, places, objects, and things. Becoming proficient at basic and common German vocabulary will help when traveling to Germany (Deutschland) or other German-speaking countries.

fourth = vierte

sixth = sechste

twelfth = zwölfte
thirteenth = dreizehnte
fourteenth = vierzehnte
fifteenth = fünfzehnte
sixteenth = sechzehnte

on 5/29/2008 Thank you for sharing this information. It seems like this would be basic knowledge in German class but we were not taught this. It will help for fluency.
